Directions：After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Americans are more familiar with the benefits of discipline, in fact, than conscious of them in theory. Anyone who should try to manage a factory, a bank, a railroad, a ship, a military company, or an athletic team, on the principle of having every employee or member of the organization take whatever part in the work, and do it in whatever way seemed【小题1】（good）in his own eyes,【小题2】（come）to sudden grief and be mercilessly laughed at. We all know that any enterprise can be successful only if there is coordination of effort, or【小题3】for short we call team play, and that this can happen only if the nature of each man’s work, and the way he is to perform it, is arranged with a view to the whole, so that each part【小题4】（fit）into its place contributes its proper share to the total result. Experience【小题5】（teach）us that the maximum efficiency is attained【小题6】the team play is most nearly perfect, and therefore, the subordination（附属，从属）of the individual to the combined action is most nearly complete. Then there is the greatest harmony of action, and the least waste by friction or working at cross purpose. But everyone is aware that such a condition does not come about of【小题7】. Men do not fit into their places in a team or organization spontaneously.【小题

8】they have and even when they have become familiar with the game or the industry, they are apt（易于）to overestimate their own part in it, or disagree about the best method of attaining the result. Everyone likes to rule, and when

Artemus Ward suggested that all the men in a regiment should be made Brigadier Generals at once to avoid jealousy, he touched a familiar weakness【小题9】human nature. He was not obliged to explain the joke, because no one fails to see the absurdity（荒谬，谬论）of having everybody in command. But that would be exactly the situation if nobody were in command. If there is to be a plan for combined action, somebody must have power to decide what that plan shall be; and if the part of every performer is【小题10】（subordinate）to the plan. Moreover, that authority must have some means of carrying its directions into effect. It must be maintained by discipline; either by forcing those who do not play their parts rightly to conform to the general plan, or by eliminating them from the organization.

DAY 02

What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully.___36___. Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.

On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, to “look good.”Let’s just face it.___37___So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.

Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set.___38___

Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings.___39___But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.

___40___When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.”You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.”

A. Practice positive self-talk.

B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.

C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.

D. Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.

E. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.

F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.

G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.

winter._____38_____However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.

“There was no return address. It was poorly written and poorly addressed to the university. There were misspellings,”school spokeswoman Vicki Woodard said on Saturday. “There was some tape over it.___17___.”The unusual size, no return address, misspellings in the address and the tape holding torn parts together were enough to bring in the local bomb experts.

___18___. Would you think that young student would be a great addition to your university? Would you want that person working for you—representing your company?___19___, with a baseball cap on, and then asking, “You don’t have any jobs, do you?”, I am always amazed.

DAY 16

We automatically assume that as adults, we’re wiser than when we were children. However, actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self. For example, we can learn to develop optimism about the future. Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas?___36___Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences.

We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible. How often have you heard a child say something like “One day, I’m going to be an astronaut”?

It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did.

Some people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while others find relief in more solitary (独自的) activities: meditation, yoga and walking.___13___

Do some exercise. The research keeps growing — exercise benefits your mind just as well as your body. We keep hearing about the long-term benefits of a regular exercise routine. But even a 20-minute walk, run, swim or dance session in the midst of a stressful time can give an immediate effect that can last for several hours.

___14___It may seem difficult to get away from a big work project, a crying baby or a growing credit card bill. But when you give yourself permission to step away from it, you let yourself have time to do something else, which can help you have a new perspective or practice techniques to feel less overwhelmed. It’s important not to avoid your stress (those bills have to be paid sometime), but even just 20 minutes to take care of yourself is helpful.

Smile and laugh. Our brains are interconnected with our emotions and facial expressions. When people are stressed, they often hold a lot of the stress in their face. So laughs or smiles can help relieve some of that tension and improve the situation.

“We don’t get the taste of food equally,” said professor Duffy, an expert in the study of food taste. “It could explain some of the differences in our food 64(prefer).”

About half of us can taste bitter and sweet, so we are not especially sensitive to bitter food. Another 25% are called “non-tasters”, to 65bitter food might actually be a bit sweeter. The rest of us are 66(extreme) sensitive to the bitterness that some 67 (plant) develop to keep animals from eating them.

Food scientists are trying to develop ways 68(reduce) the bitterness in veggies, in the hope that we can keep super-tasters from rejecting vegetables. In fact, some vegetables we grow today 69(be) much sweeter than before.

We might also try to use various cooking methods, either by adding some fat, sweetness, strong flavors like garlic 70 roasting them, to improve the taste of the vegetables.

Cambridge Dictionary has declared "upcycling" as 61 Word of the Year 2019. The word refers to the act of making new items out of old or 62 ( use) things or waste materials.

63 number of times "upcycling" has been looked up on the Cambridge Dictionary website 64 ( rise) by 181% since December of 2011, 65 it was first added to the online dictionary. In the past year alone 66 ( search) for the word have doubled.

Wendalyn Nichols, Publishing Manager of Cambridge Dictionary, believes that the word's recent popularity is being caused by people's growing 67 （aware）of climate change and other environmental issues. “68 （stop）the gradual process of climate change, let alone changing it around 69 （absolute）, can seem impossible at times. Upcycling is a concrete action a single human being can take 70 （make）a difference," he said.

DAY 21

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.___16___

One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.____17____We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.

Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.___18___

Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.____19____The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.

If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.

Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.____20____“You keep what matters,” Tononi says.

A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.

B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.

C. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.

D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.

E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.

F. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
